We are almost done with our text part. The Image should now look somewhat like this
Fig18

Fig 18.

But you must be wondering that there isnt any light reflection on our background image. So at our last step we will complete that too.
Just create a new layer under the original text or above the background image

Step 12

After creating the new layer and as this layer is active press Ctrl+G to group this layer.
What happens when we change the Blending Mode of this group to Color Dodge is that, Dodging this grouped layer is a quick way of blending with white color with transparent layer. And with the new layer still active, while pressing Ctrl click on any of the text layer to make the selection of the text.

With your empty color dodged layer selected, click the Add layer mask  icon in the bottom of your Layers palette and then do a Ctrl + I to invert the mask. You’re ready to start dodging.

Use a soft white brush, about 45px in size and 15% flow, and make some gentle strokes in front of the glass’s highlights. You can tone down the layer’s opacity (80%) if things get a little too bright.  Final Image Below:

Final Image

Have Fun!

Here comes my fourth tutorial in Photoshop after the first 3: First Rays Effect Second Fire Effect

Third Ice Effect Creating your own Special Effects: Glowing Lines and VFX effect in Photoshop

In this tutorial we will create our very own special effect cool glowing lines.

It is a simple tutorial from which you can make your own desktop wallpaper and do so much more.

Step1:
Create a new document. I prefer selecting the size of 1280×1024 pixels and resolution 300.

Select background color as Black or you can change the background color later too.

Select the Brush tool then change the settings of the brush to size 3 pixel, 0% hardness and color white.

Create a new layer and then select Pen tool. Change the mode of Pen tool to Paths.

Now create the shapes like I have done below. Once you are comfortable with this tutorial,

which you will be very soon, you can add and create effects for your own shapes.

After drawing the line, right-click anywhere in the document and select stroke path.

Then in the options select Brush and check the box of Stimulate Pressure and hit OK.

Repeat this step for 4-5 times to get a good curved brush stroke.
Fig1

Fig1 (Click For Larger Image)

Step2:
Now we will make pattern of this stroked path. With the same layer active, hold Ctrl button and click on the active layer.

This will create a selection of the stroked path.

Now go to menu Edit>Define Brush Preset and save as a Brush.

Now hide this layer and select Brush tool.

Go to Brush settings and select the brush you just created (Hint: the recently created brush will appear at the very end) and change the settings as shown below.

Step3:

Create a new layer and with the same brush as active that we just created

and edited, start drawing from left of the document to the right. You will see that all the lines must be different from each other due to the settings we have done. The image should look somewhat like below.
